Chapter 495: Establishing a Crown Prince and Abdicating the Throne



Then, without waiting for her to say anything, he handed the brocade box to him and said, "Okay, it's your turn. Help me put it on."

He learned this from Mianmian's world, and he thought Mianmian would definitely like it.

Wen Mianmian took the brocade box with amusement, put the ring inside on the Fourth Master, and then clasped her hands together.

Looking into his eyes, she said seriously, "I promise you that I will be married to Yinzhen for the rest of my life. We will love each other deeply and hold hands until we grow old together."

"Mianmian..." The Fourth Master murmured softly, then hugged Mianmian and kissed her...

β€”β€”

The person who was most happy about Wen Mianmian becoming the queen was the empress dowager. When Wen Mianmian brought all the concubines to pay their respects, the empress dowager casually said a few words and sent everyone away, leaving only Wen Mianmian.

"Mianmian, you seem to be looking better lately. How are you? Are you used to being the queen?"

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I am fine."

Although she became the queen, the management rights of the harem fell entirely on her. Fortunately, the Fourth Master found her a few management maids who were proficient in these matters. With their help, she was not so busy.

Life was fulfilling and not as troublesome and complicated as she had initially thought.

"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it. Now it seems that I was too worried." The Queen Mother smiled.

Wen Mianmian said modestly, "This is all thanks to the several maids sent by the emperor. With their help, I can have some free time."

If it weren't for those maids, she would have been defeated by herself long ago, and she would not have had time to chat with her mother in the palace.

"Mother is still the best. Now you don't have to do anything. I envy you very much." Wen Mianmian joked with a smile.

The Queen Mother glared at her and said, "When you reach my age, you will be able to do the same. When I was managing the harem, I didn't have as much free time as you do."

"You are living a much more comfortable life now than I did back then."

"Hehe, that's because of the help of the maids and my mother's guidance. Otherwise, I would be so busy right now."

"Haha, you~"

Wen Mianmian stayed with the Queen Mother for most of the day before returning to Guanju Palace.

Wen Mianmian did not move to another palace. She thought Guanju Palace was quite good. Besides, the name was given by the Fourth Master, and it was very close to the Fourth Master's Palace of Heavenly Purity, so there was no need to move. Moreover, she had already gotten used to it here.

If she moved to another palace, she would not be used to it, but fortunately the Fourth Master also listened to her.

She didn't want to move, but the Fourth Master didn't say anything. He also thought Guanju Palace was pretty good, so he just let her do as she pleased.

Not long after returning to the palace, the Fourth Master also came over.

With Xuanxuan and his brothers helping to take care of state affairs, the Fourth Master has more free time.

"Master."

Wen Mianmian walked over happily when she saw her and sat down next to him.

"Have you been back for a long time? Why didn't anyone come to call me?"

She didn't know that the Fourth Master would come back so early, so she stayed in her mother's palace for a little longer.

"I know you went to my mother's palace, so I didn't call you. It's rare that my mother likes you, so it would be good for you to visit her more often."

He is busy all day long, and sometimes he is so busy that he has no time to come to Mianmian. Mianmian must be very bored, so she goes to her mother's palace and talks to her mother so that she won't be so bored.

"Although my mother's place is nice, I still prefer to stay with my master."

Wen Mianmian hugged his arm, nestled her head on his shoulder and whispered softly.

The Fourth Master held her hand and whispered, "Mianmian, don't worry. I will make more time to accompany you in the future."

He also knew that he was too busy and that there were too many matters in the government that required his decision-making, so it was inevitable that he would rarely come to Mianmian.

"That's not necessary. I know the master is busy. I just want you to take good care of yourself."

"Okay~"

The Fourth Master looked at her with his brows lowered, and at this moment an idea arose in his mind.

But this takes time. When that time comes, he can take Mianmian to travel to every place she wants to go, and he can be with her every day.

Wen Mianmian had no idea of ​​the Fourth Master's idea.

Eight years later...

A lot of things happened in these eight years. Li and Maopin died of illness in the past few years, and no new people entered the harem after Wen Mianmian was made queen.

The Fourth Master also directly cancelled the general election every three years. Although many ministers in the court were dissatisfied, they were ultimately unable to overcome the Emperor.

In the years that followed, the remaining concubines in the palace behaved themselves and no longer dared to ask for the emperor's favor.

They just want to live a good life in their own palace. Fortunately, with the Queen around, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Niuhulu also knew that she could not compare with the queen, so like other people in the harem, she wanted to live a peaceful life in her own palace.

On this day, the news that the Fourth Master appointed the Second Prince Hongyan as the Crown Prince spread throughout the court. In the same year, the Fourth Master also passed the throne to Xuanxuan. After participating in Xuanxuan's coronation ceremony, the Fourth Master took Mianmian out to travel.

In a small village, a handsome couple in ordinary clothes were sitting by the river, snuggling together. The man was holding a fishing rod in his hand, quietly waiting for the fish to bite.

Wen Mianmian kept looking ahead, and suddenly there were ripples around the fishing rod. Wen Mianmian knew that a fish had taken the bait.

She patted the Fourth Master's shoulder excitedly, "Ah Zhen, hurry up, there's a fish on the hook."

Seeing how excited she was, the Fourth Master quickly reeled in his fishing rod.

Soon a big fat fish was caught and brought back to the shore.

Wen Mianmian quickly stood up and walked over to the big fish, saying in surprise, "Wow, it's a big fish! Not bad, not bad! It looks like we've had a good catch today. We can have another good meal tonight."

Wen Mianmian happily unhooked the fish, but the fish was still flapping its tail with great effort.

Wen Mianmian picked it up and put it into the fish bucket she brought.

There are many fish of different sizes in the fish bucket, but none of them are as big as the fish just caught.

"Azhen, these fish are enough. Let's go back and prepare dinner." Wen Mianmian looked at the Fourth Master and smiled.

"Okay, let's go back." The Fourth Master came over and picked up the fish bucket, then used his other hand to hold Mianmian's hand and walked back.

After they came out of the palace, they went to many places. Seeing the people living and working in peace and contentment, the Fourth Master felt very relieved.

Precisely because they have been to so many places and are no longer in a hurry to continue, they temporarily settled down in this quiet and beautiful village.
